Israel military says identified body of Hamas Gaza chief Mohammed Sinwar
The Israeli military said Sunday that it had located and identified the body of Mohammed Sinwar, presumed leader of Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza, three weeks after he was said to have been killed in an airstrike. 'In a targeted operation of the IDF (military) ... and following the completion of an identification process, it is now confirmed that the body of Mohammed Sinwar was located in the underground tunnel route beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis,' the army said in a statement. The army said that Sinwar was 'eliminated,' along with several other members of the militant group, on May 13. 'During searches in the underground tunnel route, several items belonging to Sinwar ... were located, along with additional intelligence findings that were transferred for further investigation,' the military said. Army spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin told journalists who were escorted by Israeli forces to the site on Sunday that Sinwar's body was found 'underneath the hospital, right under the emergency room, a compound, a few rooms.' He added that they had confirmed with 'DNA checks and other checks' that the body was indeed Mohammed Sinwar's. On May 28, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that the military had killed Sinwar, the brother of former Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, who was also killed by Israeli forces during the Gaza war. 'We drove the terrorists out of our territory, entered the Gaza Strip with force, eliminated tens of thousands of terrorists, eliminated ... Mohammed Sinwar,' Netanyahu said in an address in Israel's parliament. Mohammed Sinwar's older brother, Yahya Sinwar, accused by Israel of masterminding Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack on Israel that triggered the war in Gaza, was killed in October 2024. Experts say it is likely that Mohammed Sinwar took over as the head of the armed wing of Hamas, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, after its leader Mohammed Deif was also killed. After the deaths of several Hamas leaders since October 7, Mohammed Sinwar was thought to be at the heart of decisions on indirect negotiations with Israel, the issue of hostages and the management of Hamas' armed wing. Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union, among others.

Israeli bulldozers flatten more Palestinian buildings in Tulkarm refugee camp
LONDON: Israeli forces have conducted demolitions for the third consecutive day in the Palestinian refugee camp of Tulkarm in the northern part of the West Bank, the site of military operations since January. On Sunday, Israeli bulldozers resumed demolition of numerous residential buildings in the camp. The demolitions are part of the destruction plan of 58 structures in Tulkarm and 48 in the Nur Shams refugee camp. More than 250 housing units and dozens of commercial establishments have been destroyed in both locations, according to Wafa news agency. Residents say that an entire residential area in the Tulkarm camp has been reduced to rubble in recent days, with debris hindering access to surrounding buildings. Israeli operations in Tulkarm for the past 133 days and in Nur Shams for the past 120 days have resulted in the deaths of 13 Palestinians and the displacement of almost 25,000 residents. At least 400 homes have been destroyed and 2,573 damaged after Israeli forces sealed off roads and entrances with earth barriers and barred Palestinian residents from returning, the Wafa added.
